Nicholas Creamery, Eric LeGrand Bourbon partner for new ice cream flavor

Small-batch ice creams are the specialty at Nicholas Creamery, and a new limited-edition flavor will be released Friday, June 14, in celebration of National Bourbon Day.

LeGrand Peanut Butter Bourbon is a collaboration between Nicholas Creamery, which has five ice cream shops in Monmouth County, and Eric LeGrand Bourbon. The flavor is made with peanut butter ice cream "churned with hearty pours of Eric LeGrand Bourbon," according to a news release.

This is the second collaboration between the companies. LeGrand Bourbon Maple Pecan was released in September 2023.

They donate a portion of their sales to the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation.
